The Healing Power of Tallow
Kelsey's Intro: Bri was one of the first people I reached out to when I knew I wanted to collaborate with others on the content of this blog. I love Bri's products and those who I've gifted her products to also rave about how they feel, smell, and the wonders it does for their skin. I am a BIG fan of tallow whether it's for cooking or personal care products. I love the resurgence of understanding the health benefits of tallow and how it compliments our skin so well. So I knew I needed to have Bri share her story into why she decided to create a whole skincare line around tallow (and other minimal ingredients of the highest quality).
Hey friends! My name is Bri and I started The Wholesome Hive about 2 years ago when I discovered the healing power of tallow!
I grew up in a home where health and simplicity were highly valued: home cooked meals, non toxic cleaning products, and fresh air! I am forever grateful for my mom’s hard work in establishing a nourishing environment and going against the cultural norms.
When I became a mom myself I dove deeper into the importance of the quality of food and products we used. After my twins were born and spent some time in the NICU they developed small patches of eczema. I began researching topicals to assist in healing the skin and had some conversations with friends. Beef tallow was introduced and stole the show!
Using homemade tallow balm paired with gut focused healing, my twins were able to kick the eczema! But they weren’t the only ones seeing benefits. It was able to calm the angry red chronic psoriasis rashes I personally deal with, it healed burns and diaper rashes, it even made scratches heal quicker than any other ointment we had used. I was hooked to say the least! So, I began sharing it with friends! And they began telling their friends! It was crystal clear that I needed to continue making and sharing this product with others! So the birth of The Wholesome Hive took place. Nothing gets me more excited than when I hear a customer reach out and tell me how much the tallow balm has helped them! It truly is the reason I keep making it.
So what the heck is tallow anyways?
Simply put, tallow is beef fat. It is loaded with vitamins A,D,E, and K. The fat in the tallow is able to absorb deep into our skin and provide healing, protection, and moisture. Tallow is anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, collagen boosting and so much more! Makes sense why I started using it on every skin issue, right?!
My tallow balm includes just 3 ingredients. Grass fed/ finished beef tallow, cold pressed organic olive oil, and 100% pure essential oils. Our skincare does NOT need a list of 20+ ingredients! Simple and clean enough to eat is the way to go!
